What to do when Someone Makes Fun of your Body
By middle school, 40-70 percent of girls are dissatisfied with two or more parts of their body, and body satisfaction hits rock bottom between the ages of 12 and 15.1 This also coincides with girls’ self-esteem peaking when they are 9 years old.2

Check out the video to learn how to handle this situation because I have definitely been there!
